Perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented characters of the New Testament is Martha. Often painted in the colors of reproach, Martha seems to be the poster child for how not to be a follower of Jesus. From the mind of Diana Wallis Taylor comes this touching, well-researched portrayal of Martha of Bethany, sister of Mary and Lazarus. Through Taylor's lush descriptions and inspired combination of imagined and recorded dialogue, Martha's world--her trials, triumphs, and loves--vibrantly comes to life. Follow Martha as she is jilted by her betrothed, falls in love with a Roman soldier, grieves the death of her father, cares for her siblings, and serves her Lord with dignity and grace. Readers will never read the biblical story of Martha the same way again.
Excellent different perspective on the characters of Martha, Mary & Lazarus. This is one of the best of Mrs. Taylor's presentations and I am so pleased to have a more broad impression of this possibility of Martha's character. It stayed true in many ways to the Biblical version, yet was so much more than i would have imagined on my own. I LIKE this Martha!
